French police have declared they are 'at war' with 'savage hordes of vermin' amid widespread rioting and looting that saw a bus stolen and a car smashed into a supermarket front.
Two police unions threatened a revolt unless Emmanuel Macron's government restored order amid protests sparked by the killing of a French-Algerian teenager by police on Tuesday - also causing the French president to cancel his trip to Germany.
'Today the police are in combat because we are at war,' a report from the unions said. 'Tomorrow we will enter resistance and the government should be aware of this.'
It comes as marauding gangs of rioters clashed with police again last night leading to 1,300 arrests. Footage showed the extreme chaos on French streets as rioters were seen speeding in a bus and smashing a car into the front of a Lidl supermarket.
The friends and family of Nahel today attended the funeral of the 17-year-old shot at point-blank range by an officer at a traffic stop earlier this week.
Looters have ransacked dozens of shops and torched 2,000 vehicles since the start of the riots, which have spread to cities such as Marseille, Lyon, Toulouse, Strasbourg and Lille.
More than 200 police officers have been injured, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said, adding that the average age of those arrested was 17.
Friday night's arrests included 80 people in Marseille, home to many people of North African descent.
Social media images showed an explosion rocking the old port area of the southern city, but no casualties were reported.
A gunman yesterday also opened up on police and a weapons shop was looted.
An officer in Villeurbanne, near Lyon, described how 'gunfire started' as a patrol entered a council estate where tower blocks had been set alight in the early hours...

That's simply a consequence of elected government. The problem has to reach a point where the majority of people reach the conclusion that it's a problem that requires fixing.
Until then, you either move or you grind your teeth and endure it.
Very true in that elected government, in and of itself, is a slow-to-react mechanism.
But some governments and their electorates are weaker and less reactive than others. France has been notoriously weaker and slower to react than most.
Live: French police arrest hundreds amid decline in violence in fifth night of unrest
Le Monde is reporting similar.
I just heard on the news that Antifa is heavily involved in this.
Antifa will make it’s return to the US starting the summer of ‘24. If MAGA can stop The Cheat, Antifa will blow up in size and make 2019/2020 look like Sunday tea.
Yes, paper ballot, hand counted.
Arrest? How about summary deporation?
Actually, my post above is largely in jest, partially because the French have tried to rehabilitate their army after WWI, WWII, and Dien Bien Phu, and partly because our own military is going down that same road defeated by woke-ism.
What we are seeing in the world is a common recognition over the last30 years by the Marxist movers and shakers that the class warfare aspect of Marxism won’t work at all in countries (such as Western ones) that have large, happy, and relatively prosperous middle classes.
Marx’s theories just fail outright in that dynamic.
So they have changed. They have substituted race, culture, and sex warfare for class warfare.
That seems to be working because we are letting it work.
Then send them our way, because we have the same vermin problem.
Maybe we should “lend lease” them some white flags.
Reaping what they have sowed.
The correct response is;
“Fix Bayonets and advance to the border.” Any that do not back down can run back to their shit-hole countries or they can be buried in a pit somewhere in the French countryside.
The French did this to themselves. Maybe the rest of the West will figure this out before we burn too.
.....and then they will become an Islamic State.
‘Today the police are in combat because we are at war,’ a report from the unions said. ‘Tomorrow we will enter resistance and the government should be aware of this.’
Seems like a THREAT to the government there. I wonder if Macron understands that he’s far less popular in France than Putin is in Russia. A few more days of this could lead to new leadership in Paris.
Minorities and young people, (i.e. uninformed - ill informed) voters, LOVE creeps like that!
Yes, Really bad things happen when governments pretend things to be true that aren't true:
Witch hunts pretended that witches are real.
Slavery pretended that black people aren't fully human.
The Holocaust pretended that Jewish people aren't fully human.
Abortion pretends that preborn humans aren't fully human.
And pretending that homosexuality is normal is causing all kinds of problems.
